Measured values determined according to

EN 60 745.

Typically the A-weighted noise levels of the ma-

chine are: sound pressure level 84 dB (A);

sound power level 95 dB (A).

Uncertainty K = 3 dB.

Wear hearing protection!

Overall vibrational values (vector sum of three

directions) determined according to EN 60745:

Vibrational emission value a

, uncer-

tainty K=1.5 m/s

.

The vibration emission level

given in this information sheet

has been measured in accordance with a stand-

ardised test given in EN 60745 and may be

used to compare one tool with another.

The vibration emission level will vary because of

the ways in which a power tool can be used and

may increase above the level given in this infor-

mation sheet. This could lead to a significant un-

derestimate of exposure when the tool is used

regularly in such a way.

NOTE: To be accurate, an estimation of the

level of exposure to vibration experienced dur-

ing a given period of work should also take into

account the times when the tool is switched off

and when it is running but not actually doing the

job. This may significantly reduce the exposure

level over the total working period.

We declare under our sole responsibility that the

product described under „Technical data“ is in

conformity with the following standards or stand-

ardization documents: EN 60745 according to

the provisions of the directives 2004/108/EC,

98/37/EC (until 28 Dec 2009), 2006/42/EC (from

29 Dec 2009).

Read all safety warnings and all

instructions. Failure to follow the

warnings and instructions may re-

sult in electric shock, fire and/or se-

rious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future

reference.

Additionally, the general safety instructions ei-

ther in the enclosed booklet or those added in

the centre of these operating instructions must

be observed.

■ The allowable speed of the tool insert

must be at least as high as the maximum

speed stated on the machine. Accessories

driven in excess of their allowable speed can

be destroyed.

■ Routing tools or other tool inserts must fit

exactly in the tool holder (collet) of your

machine. Tool inserts that do not fit precisely

in the tool holder of the machine rotate irreg-

ularly, vibrate heavily and can lead to loss of

control.

■ Guide the machine against the workpiece

only when it is switched on. Otherwise

there may be danger of kickback when the

tool insert jams in the workpiece.

■ Keep your hands away from the routing

area and the routing tool. Hold the auxil-

iary handle or the motor housing with

your second hand. When both hands hold

the machine, they cannot be injured by the

routing tool.

■ Never cut over metal objects, nails or

screws. The routing tool can become dam-

aged and lead to increased vibrations.

■ Hold the power tool only by the insulated

gripping surfaces when performing an op-

eration where the cutting tool may contact

hidden wiring or its own power cord. Con-

tact with a “live” wire will also make exposed

metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock

the operator.

■ Use suitable detectors to determine if util-

ity lines are hidden in the work area or call

the local utility company for assistance.

Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and

electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead

to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes

property damage or may cause an electric

shock.

■ Do not use dull or damaged router bits.

Dull or damaged router bits cause increased

friction, can become jammed and lead to im-

balance.

■ Secure the workpiece. A workpiece

clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is

held more securely than by hand.

■ Do not work materials containing asbes-

tos. Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.

■ Take protective measures when dust can

develop during working that is harmful to

one’s health, combustible or explosive.

Example: Some dusts are regarded as carci-

nogenic. Wear a dust mask and work with

dust/chip extraction when connectable.

■ Always wait until the machine has come to

a complete stop before placing it down.

The tool insert can jam and lead to loss of

control over the power tool.

■ Do not use a machine with a damaged

mains cable. Do not touch the damaged

cable and pull the mains plug when the ca-

ble is damaged while working. Damaged

cables increase the risk of an electric shock.

For Your Safety

The machine is intended for trimming edges in

wood, plastic and light building materials. It is

also suitable for routing of grooves, profiles and

slots as well as for contour routing.

■ Before any work on the machine itself, pull

the mains plug.

Disassembling the Motor Unit

(see figure )

For disassembly of the motor unit 1, open the

clamping lever 10 and turn the routing base 2 so

that the “▲” mark is in line with the “ ” symbol

on the motor unit. Then pull the motor unit 1 up-

ward to the stop, turn the motor unit 1 in anti-

clockwise direction to the stop and pull the mo-

tor unit 1 out of the routing base 2.

Router Bit Selection

Depending on processing and application,

router bits are available in the most different de-

signs and qualities:

Router bits made of high speed steel (HSS)

are suitable for the machining of soft materials,

e. g., softwood and plastic.

Carbide tipped router bits (HM) are especially

suitable for hard and abrasive materials, e. g.,

hard wood.

Original router bits from the extensive Bosch ac-

cessories program are available at your special-

ist shop.

Inserting Router Bits

(see figures + )

■ Before any work on the machine itself, pull

the mains plug.

■ It is recommended to wear protective gloves

when inserting or replacing router bits.

Disassemble the motor unit as described in the

respective section.

Press the spindle lock button 9 and keep it

pressed. Possibly turn the spindle by hand until

the lock engages.

■ Press the spindle lock button only when at a

standstill.

Loosen the collet chuck 5 with an open-end

spanner 12 (size 18 mm) several turns, but do

not unscrew the tightening nut.

Insert the shank of the router bit at least 20 mm

(shank length) into the collet.

Tighten the collet chuck 5 with the open-end

spanner 12 (size 18 mm) and release the spin-

dle lock button 9.

Do not tighten the tightening nut of the

collet chuck without a router bit in-

serted.

Replacing the Collet (see figure )

Depending on the routing tool to be used, differ-

ent collets can be inserted, see “Tool Specifica-

tions”.

The collet 13 must have somewhat play when

seated in the tightening nut. The collet chuck 5

(tightening nut with collet) must assemble eas-

ily. Should the collet chuck 5 be damaged, re-

place immediately.

Press the spindle lock button 9 and keep it

pressed. Possibly turn the spindle by hand until

the lock engages.

Unscrew the collet chuck 5.

Release the spindle lock button 9.

Clean the tool holding fixture and the collet 13

using a soft brush or by blowing out with com-

pressed air.

Tighten the collet chuck 5 again.

Do not tighten the tightening nut of the

collet chuck without a router bit in-

serted.

Mounting the Motor Unit

(see figure )

To mount the motor unit 1, open the clamping

lever 10 and bring the two double arrows on the

motor unit 1 and the routing base 2 into align-

ment. Push the drive unit 1 into the routing

base 2 and turn the motor unit 1 in clockwise di-

rection until the “▲” mark on the routing base 2

points against the line below the “ ” symbol

Readjusting the Clamping Lever

To readjust the tightening tension, open the

clamping lever 10, turn the nut of the clamping

lever approx. 45° in clockwise direction using an

open-end spanner and then lock the clamping

lever 10 again. Check if the motor unit 1 is

clamped securely. Do not over tighten the nut.

Observe correct mains voltage: The voltage

of the power source must agree with the voltage

specified on the nameplate of the machine.

Equipment marked with 230 V can also be con-

nected to 220 V.

Switching On and Off

To start the machine, set the On/Off switch 11

to I.

To switch off the machine, set the On/Off

switch 11 to 0.

■ The adjustment of the depth-of-cut may only

be carried out when the trimmer is switched

off.

Place the trimmer on the workpiece to be

worked.

Open the clamping lever 10, set the “▲” mark

on the routing base 2 to the “ ” symbol and

slowly lower the motor unit until the router

touches the workpiece. Fix the motor unit in this

position by locking the clamping lever 10.

Read the measuring value off the scale 8 and

note it down (zeroing). Add the desired depth-of-

cut to this value.

Open the clamping lever 10 and set the motor

unit to the calculated scale value. Set the

“▲” mark on the routing base 2 to the “ ” sym-

bol and lock the clamping lever 10 again.

Check the carried out depth-of-cut adjustment

with a trial cut and correct it, if necessary.

For fine adjustment of the depth-of-cut, set the

“▲” mark on the motor unit to the “ ” symbol

with the clamping lever 10 open. Adjust the de-

sired depth-of-cut with the thumbwheel 3. After-

wards, lock the clamping lever 10 to securely

lock the motor unit in the routing base.

Direction of Feed (see figure )

The feed motion of the router must always be

carried out against the rotation direction of the

router bit (up-grinding).

When routing in the rotation direction of the

router bit (down-cutting), the machine can break

loose, eliminating control by the user.

Routing Process

■ Use the machine only with the routing

base mounted. Loss of control over the ma-

chine can cause injuries.

■ Before beginning the routing procedure,

check if the “▲” mark on the routing base 2 is

positioned in line with the “ ” symbol on the

motor unit 1.

Note: Take into consideration that the router

bit 4 always extends out of the base plate 7. Do

not damage the template or the workpiece.

Adjust the depth-of-cut as described previously.

Switch the machine on and guide it to the loca-

tion subject to working.

Carry out the routing procedure applying uni-

form feed.

Switch the machine off after finishing the routing

process. Do not place the power tool down until

after the router bit has come to a complete stop.

Routing with Guide Bushing

The guide bushing 14 enables template and

pattern routing on workpieces.

Inserting guide bushing 14 (see figure )

Unscrew the four fastening screws on the bot-

tom side of the guide plate 6 and remove the

guide plate 6. Insert the rubber ring 15 and then

the guide bushing 14 into the round guide

plate 16 as shown in the figure. Screw the round

guide plate 16 to the base plate 7 with the coun-

tersunk screws provided.

Adjusting/centring the guide bushing

(see figure )

To ensure that the distance from router bit cen-

tre and guide bushing edge is uniform, the guide

bushing and the guide plate can be adjusted to

each other, if required.

Loosen the fastening screws 17 by approx.

2 turns so that the round guide plate 16 can be

moved freely.

Insert the centring pin 18 into the tool holder as

shown in the figure. Hand-tighten the tightening

nut so that the centring pin can still be moved.

Align the centring pin 18 and the guide bush-

ing 14 by lightly moving the round guide

plate 16.

Tighten the fastening screws 17 again and re-

move the centring pin 18 from the tool holder.

Routing Process

Select a router bit with a smaller diam-

eter than the inside diameter of the

guide bushing.

Place the machine with the guide bushing 14

against the template.

Guide the machine with projecting guide bush-

ing along the template, applying light sideward

pressure.

Note: The template must have a minimum thick-

ness of 8 mm, due to the projecting height of the

guide bushing.

Shaping or Molding Applications

(see figure )

For shaping or molding applications without the

use of a parallel guide, the router must be

equipped with a pilot or a ball bearing.

Guide the machine from the side to the work-

piece until the pilot or the ball bearing of the trim-

mer faces against the workpiece edge to be

worked. Guide the machine alongside the edge

of the workpiece, ensuring rectangular support.

Excessive pressure can damage the edge of the

workpiece.

Routing with Parallel Guide

(see figure )

Fasten the parallel guide 20 to the routing base

with the knurled screw 19.

Adjust the desired depth setting on the parallel

guide with wing bolt 21.

Guide the machine with uniform feed and side-

ward pressure against the parallel guide 20

alongside the workpiece edge.

Routing with the Roller Guide

(see figure )

The roller guide 22 is used for routing edges

with router bits without pilot or ball bearing.

Fasten the roller guide 22 to the routing base

with the knurled screw 19.

Guide the machine with uniform feed alongside

the workpiece edge.

Lateral Clearance

In order to change the amount of material re-

moval, the lateral clearance between workpiece

and the guide roller of the roller guide can be ad-

justed.

Loosen wing bolt 24, adjust the desired lateral

clearance by turning wing bolt 23 and tighten

wing bolt 24 again.

Height

Adjust the vertical alignment of the roller guide

depending on the router bit in use and the thick-

ness of the material to be worked.

Loosen the knurled screw 19 on the roller guide,

slide the roller guide to the desired position and

tighten the knurled screw again.

Assembling the Base Cover Sleeve

(see figure )

For assembly of the base cover sleeve 25, re-

move the clamping lever 10. Place the base

cover sleeve 25 onto the routing base 2 from

above and reassemble the clamping lever 10

again in such a manner that the motor unit 1 is

held securely in the routing base when the

clamping lever is locked.

Routing with Tilt Base

(see figures – )

The tilt base 26 is particularly suitable for flush

routing of laminated edges at hard to reach loca-

tions, for routing special angles as well as for

bevelling edges.

When bevelling edges using the tilt base 26, the

router bit must be equipped with a pilot or a ball

bearing.

The tilt base is mounted according to the in-

structions for the routing base 2.

To achieve precise angles, the tilt base 26 is

equipped with adjustment notches in steps of

7.5°. The complete adjustment range is 75°; the

tilt base inclines to 45° toward the front and 30°

toward the rear. Loosen both wing bolts 27 to

adjust the angle. Adjust the desired angle using

the scale 28 and tighten wing bolts 27 again.

Routing with the Side-handle

Subbase (see figure )

The side-handle subbase 32 can be mounted in

place of guide plate 6. It offers an additional

handle 29 as well as a connection possibility for

dust extraction.

Unscrew the four fastening screws on the bot-

tom side of the guide plate 6 and remove the

guide plate. Screw the side-handle subbase 32

to the base plate as shown in the figure using

the countersunk screws provided.

To connect dust extraction, screw the extraction

adapter 31 to the side-handle subbase 32 with

the two screws. Connect an extraction hose with

a diameter of 19/35 mm to the extraction

adapter 31.

To ensure optimum dust extraction, the extrac-

tion adapter 31 should be cleaned regularly.

For working edges, additionally use the extrac-

tion hood 30. Mount the extraction hood as

shown in the figure.

For working smooth face surfaces, remove the

extraction hood 30.

The machine can be plugged directly into the re-

ceptacle of a Bosch all-purpose vacuum cleaner

with remote starting control. The vacuum

cleaner starts automatically when the machine

is switched on.

The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the

material to be worked.

When vacuuming dry dust that is especially det-

rimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special

vacuum cleaner.

■ Before any work on the machine itself, pull

the mains plug.

■ For safe and proper working, always keep the

machine and its ventilation slots clean.

If the machine should fail despite the care taken

in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair

should be carried out by an authorized after-
